"Discipline is essential for the success of every endeavour of man, whatever the field, whether it be economic, social, education or merely material and worldly. It is even more essential for success in spiritual effort.
I am insisting on FIVE points of discipline for the Permanent Residents of Prasanthi Nilayam:
1. SILENCE: This is the first step in Sadhana. It promotes self-control.
2. CLEANLINESS: It is the doorway to Godliness.
3. SERVICE: It broadens your vision. It deepens your compassion.
4. LOVE: Do not calculate or weigh the reaction, results or reward. Love calls, love responds.
5. HATE-LESSNESS: No being is to be looked down upon as secondary, inferior, unimportant or expendable. "
